Heh, was talking about calls, on email.

@scotth nothing wrong with the specs of that system, perfect for learning with to be honest.
Don't overthink VDI, it's really just a collection of VM's with management tools for automatically creating machines from base images, load balancing, gateway management etc.Microsoft have their solution built into windows server called Remote Desktop Services, Citrix have their solution which adds more functionality on top of this and use a different connection protocol called ICA which uses less resources than RDP. VMware have their solution called VMware Horizon View.
I don't use VDI per say, I use session based desktops (shared Desktop) and would recommend using this for most scenarios, VDI is expensive, needs fast storage and needs to be setup and planned correctly. I've seen a company use a VDI solution that was crap to use due to the SAN being flakey and the environment not being setup correctly. VDI is excellent if used in the correct manner and for the correct purpose though.
There are trials you can use, download windows server evaluation and start off with RDS and see how you get on, I believe Citrix and VMware have trials for their products as well.

I'm having a morning, and I'm pissed off well beyond my limit.

Been at the office since 6AM, and I'm still stuck here because of shady ass antics.

About as good to be expected, also I have my bussing hat on today!

@StuartJordan I have experience with some of what you described. At work, we ran a two server Citrix Farm ca. 2006 maybe V6 and have had a TS server along with that since. What I've never tried is VDI and it seems that I probably won't.
That being said, I'm curious what I could do pushing out desktops and or apps with XCP-NG. I see a choice to make a vApp from a VM, just haven't explored it. I'm curious if I can create an advantage, what would happen with available resources, how it scales, those sorts of things.
If this webinar will help me understand better, then I'll sign up for it. My curiosity has the better of me when it comes to this stuff. I just have to create the time.
